They are created using the [Interchain Token Service](https://github.com/axelarnetwork/interchain-token-service/blob/main/contracts/InterchainTokenService.sol) and can be used to transfer value between blockchains. The Interchain Token Service is deployed to [`0xB5FB4BE02232B1bBA4dC8f81dc24C26980dE9e3C`](https://etherscan.io/address/0xB5FB4BE02232B1bBA4dC8f81dc24C26980dE9e3C) while the Interchain Token Factory is deployed to [`0x83a93500d23Fbc3e82B410aD07A6a9F7A0670D66`](https://etherscan.io/address/0x83a93500d23Fbc3e82B410aD07A6a9F7A0670D66). You can create a new Interchain Token through the [Interchain Portal](https://testnet.interchain.axelar.dev/), or by building a custom ERC-20 token and deploying it with a Mint/Burn token manager on all chains. These tokens will be accessible on multiple chains, allowing for seamless interaction on each chain by utilizing familiar methods such as send, transfer, and approve -- just as with any standard ERC-20 token. +Make sure you are thinking about token names and any relevant stakeholders. Creating a simple token using the ITS Portal will use the same token name for all chains.

Your new Interchain Token is now available on multiple chains.

With these tokens, you can specify minting policies, ownership structures, rate limits, and other bespoke functionality.
